Advantech SOM-5991, designed on the Intel® Xeon® Processor D-1500 family, is the world’s first COM Express powered by a server-grade processor that provides high bandwidth interfaces for data transmission-reception, all within a basic form-factor of 125 x 95 mm with a Type 6 compliant pin-out. Nevertheless, since most user scenarios adopt a thin chassis or blade/slot architectures, the SOM-5991 is designed with extra, dedicated CPU heatsink screw holes that allow for a compact and flexible thermal solution. With this new product, the user can easily design a scalable, high performance system with all computer-on-module advantages that is not restricted to ATCA/CPCI slot architectures.
